What is your number one piece of advice for women with curly hair?
Charmaine: Love your hair, but don’t obsess over it! Make sure there is a healthy balance. I recently created something on my Instagram called a hairstrike (you can look up the hash tag #hairstrike2014“> because I noticed that with all the hair vlogs and IG pages it is very easy to take something that we should love and be proud of and turn it into an unhealthy obsession. I told my followers I would be wearing my hair pulled back for a month to send the message that this part of me that draws a lot of attention is not the essence of me. By taking a break I wanted people to understand that I am ok without it and they can be too. I am aware of the power of influence through social media so I thought it might be a great exercise for women that may need it. I received so many touching stories from women suffering from hair loss due to fighting cancer to women with major insecurities that made them afraid to wear their hair pulled back. Anyway, love your hair, but don’t obsess over it. A healthy balance in life is always best for our mind, body, and soul!
